But i can't figure where the problem come from. If I plug the usb webcam after login all is fine, the driver is loaded and the webcam is useable. Maybe it can be that this driver try to make a device /dev/video1 (/dev/video0 is for my tvcard) but it is not compliant to udev. Maybe i have to had something /etc/modrpobe.conf (like alias char-major-81 bttv for tv card). Maybe something else but i don't know ...
